Do you influence the way resources are allocated by Public Health in the NHS and Government?
Are you up to speed with the answers to the following questions?
- What guidance would you use when procuring goods and services?
- What are the main sources of emissions in the NHS?
- Describe four potential areas for action to reduce NHS carbon emissions
Check your knowledge and reflect on your actions as Public Health professionals by reading the latest resources available on the Faculty of Public Health website as follows:
Resource K9 – The NHS: Carbon Footprint
Resource A9 – Towards a Net-Zero Carbon NHS
Resource A7 – Sustainable Planning, Procurement and Commissioning
The resources will help you to deliver better services, complete your Public Health competencies and reflect on the contribution you can make to the Government aim of reaching net zero carbon emissions targets by 2050 in England and 2045 in Scotland. Check them out at the Faculty of Public Health website here .
Thanks very much to members of the FPH Sustainable Development Special Interest Group and to Jenny Griffiths as editor in chief and all authors for their contributions to these resources.
